The Shotover river ends with a bang. After exiting the Oxenbridge tunnel, which is 170m long and took the Oxenbridge family three years to build, you have a couple of seconds before you hit the pillow off the river right wall and and shoot down through the guts of the hole at the bottom. If you get it right you don’t get to wet at the bottom. Heaps of fun for the safety kayakers.

Coming clean on the other side. Heading for the takeout and a good cup of coffee. All in a hard days work.
